Moist chocolate cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a moist chocolate cake without eggs in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Sift the flour through a sieve. This will saturate it with oxygen, which, in turn, will make the chocolate cake more tender and airy. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   To prepare the dough, take a tall bowl; it is more convenient to mix dry and wet products in it. Combine water, vegetable oil, sugar and cocoa in the bowl until smooth. If you are using a mixer, do not turn it on right away. First, stir the mixture with a spoon until the cocoa and sugar become moist, otherwise they may fly apart.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sifted flour and baking soda to the bowl. Mix everything well so that the dough becomes homogeneous, without lumps. Depending on the quality of flour, you may need a little more or a little less. Read more about flour and its properties in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe. The dough should be liquid. Add a spoonful of vinegar to the finished dough and mix it quickly. The vinegar will react with the baking soda. Add the vinegar last - this is important!

4. STEP 4

   

   Cover a mold (approximately 20*30) with parchment. You can choose the right parchment paper and baking pan by reading the articles at the links at the end of the recipe. Pour the dough into the prepared pan and place in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 40 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens by reading a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

5. STEP 5

   

   You can check readiness with a toothpick - insert it into the middle of the cupcake and immediately remove it. If it is dry, then the cake is ready. Remove the finished cake from the oven and, without removing it from the mold, cool until warm. This should be done because of the tenderness and softness of the cake. Otherwise, you risk damaging its structure and getting not a pie, but separate parts of it.

6. STEP 6

   

   For the chocolate glaze, heat the milk until hot and add the chocolate broken into pieces. Stir everything until the chocolate melts and the mixture becomes uniformly chocolatey. If the glaze is thick, you can add a little more milk. This is the easiest and fastest way to prepare glaze. You can prepare it in other ways as well. Or you can serve the pie by sprinkling it with powdered sugar, or just like that.

7. STEP 7

   

   Brush the finished frosting onto the top of the cupcake and place it in the refrigerator until it cools completely and the chocolate frosting hardens on it. If you won't be making frosting, you can skip this step. The cupcake will be delicious in any form.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the chocolate cake into pieces and serve. Due to the fact that there are no eggs in the composition, the finished cake is moderately moist and does not require additional soaking. To prevent it from drying out during storage, keep it closed in a box in the refrigerator.

   Enjoy your tea!

The pie is easy to prepare, and the ingredients are the most affordable. The whole family liked this chocolate cake, they ate it instantly) It is really very chocolate, and even the icing is chocolate! The amount of dough was small; the dough filled the rectangular muffin pan by a third. However, the cake rose well. Instead of baking soda and vinegar, I used baking powder and added a little salt, it enhances the taste of chocolate. I took 20g of cocoa, it is very bitter for me, the remaining 20g. were in the form of cappuccino powder. I prepared the glaze as in the recipe, the result was a delicious glossy glaze, after cooling, it completely hardened and no longer got dirty. The cake itself is moderately moist, airy and very chocolatey. It's incredibly tasty! Next time I'll make two servings at once. I recommend everyone to try making chocolate pie using this recipe.

I saved this recipe for a long time, but I still couldn’t make it. But it finally worked! It was very interesting to see what kind of pie this simple recipe would turn out to be. I did not deviate from the recipe, I tried to follow the step-by-step instructions. I was very pleased with the result! The cake turned out very tasty, with a pronounced chocolate taste, moist, with a pleasant velvety structure. I didn’t have chocolate, so I made a glaze from sour cream, sugar, cocoa (2 tablespoons each) and 20 grams of butter. She divided the pie into four cake layers, and greased the cake layers with sour cream - 400 grams of sour cream and 70 grams of powdered sugar. Covered the top with glaze. This is how the pie turned out to be a small chocolate cake - excellent in structure and excellent in taste!!! Julia, thank you so much for such a quick and delicious chocolate recipe. Here is my photo report)))

Well, look, I only had 9 grams of cocoa, that is, 4 times less) but the taste was rich and so was the color. In general, the taste and consistency are quite pleasant) this is the first time I’ve eaten such a moist pie, I don’t feel like I want to wash it down 😅I served it hot with a filling 👍😋I recommend it, it’s very complementary
